SAFETY

ALWAYS follow state and local regulations regarding use of a safety chain and auxiliary lighting when towing farm equipment on public highways. BE SURE to check with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. Unless otherwise prohibited, use a Slow-moving Vehicle Emblem.

Only a safety chain (NOT an elastic or nylon/plastic tow strap) should be used to retain the connection between the towing and towed machines, in the event of separation of the primary attaching system.

Block the Spreader so it will NOT roll after it is disconnected from the tractor.

Good safety practice dictates that you NEVER tow an implement (without brakes) unless towing vehicle weighs at least one-and-one half (1-1/2) times the weight of the towed implement and its load. For any public highway travel and to be in compliance with this rule, BE SURE that your tractor is heavy enough to counterbalance the weight of the loaded Spreader; refer to the Specifications chapter for potential loaded weights of the various model Spreaders.

Our Company does NOT sell replacement tires. In addition, tire mounting, service or inflation can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should be called to service and/or mount tires, following the tire manufacturer's instruction. If you do NOT have such instructions , contact your tire dealer or our Company . In any event, to avoid possible fatal or serious injury, follow the specific directive given in the Service chapter of this manual.

To avoid injury, stay out of the Spreader Box. If entrance into the Box is required, BE SURE to exercise the MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE BEFORE going in.

REMEMBER! It is the owner's responsibility for communicating information on safe use and proper maintenance of this machine.

MANURE GAS IS A DEADLY KILLER I Good safety practices dictate that you NEVER enter a manure pit alone. BE SURE someone else is around to help you out in an emergency.
